Yesterday evening I made cute little bone shaped dog biscuits. Nice things to take as a gift when visiting a household with a canine. I had little cellophane bags ready and lots of pretty curly ribbon. I even had tiny, pert gift tags ready.
I still have the bags, the pretty ribbon and the gift tags.
In my defence the biscuits smelled really good.
So this evening I made a human snack.
You will need:
A large handful (think of a New Zealand rugby player - oh la!) of raw shelled cashews or pistachios
A glug of vegetable or olive oil
A sprinkling of sea salt
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne or chilli powder
Method
Mix the sea salt and chilli powder or cayenne in a small bowl.
Heat the oil in a frying pan until medium hot and add the nuts. Toss them around for a minute. Scoop the nuts out of the pan onto kitchen paper leaving the oil behind. Sprinkle immediately with the salt and chilli mix.
Leave to cool. Eat with a glass of chilled white wine and remember that a bottle of wine is not a challenge. You can put the cork back in. Thank you Nigel Slater for that last, important, tip.
